6 Testimonials from Previous Participants This was a wonderful course, great and funny instructor who is going to impact fetal monitoring by passing the word to make communication amongst professionals more concise and not allow us to get away with arguing about the interpretation and instead focus on fixing the problem. This course kept me engaged and motivated and gave me greater confidence in taking the exam. This is a great review course by a great Presenter! Clear and concise information. Excellent speaker, great instructor who is knowledgeable and keeps you awake. I have taken multiple EFM preps and passed certification exams.
